1 API Update Kevin Ferrick 40 th Automotive Petroleum Industry Forum

2 AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE (API) Only national trade association representing all facets of oil and natural gas industry, which supports 10.3 million U.S. jobs and nearly 8 percent of U.S. economy API s more than 625 members include large integrated companies, as well as exploration and production, refining, marketing, pipeline, and marine businesses, and service and supply firms

3 API ENGINE OIL STANDARDS 70+ years setting engine oil performance standards API 1509, Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System API 1525, Bulk Oil Testing, Handling and Storage Guidelines API 1525A, Bulk Engine Oil Chain of Custody and Quality Documentation 30+ years licensing oils against standards 25 years auditing licensed and unlicensed oils

4 LUBRICANTS STANDARDS POLICY/STANDARDS GROUP CHARGE Guides Institute s efforts on matters related to engine oils Development of new and maintenance of current engine oil performance standards Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System (EOLCS) Motor Oil Matters (MOM) Program Aftermarket Audit Program Maintenance of lubricant- and EOLCS-related publications and liaison efforts with industry groups Auto Alliance International Lubricants Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC) Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) Independent Lubricant Manufacturers Association (ILMA) American Chemistry Council (ACC) National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) SAE ASTM

12 NEXT PCMO

13 DRAFT GF-6A SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30 Phosphorus and sulfur limits same as GF-5 Seven engine tests proposed No TEOST MHT NOACK Method B at 15.0%

14 DRAFT GF-6B SAE 0W-16 only Any grades less than SAE 0W-16 subject to review before inclusion in GF-6B Same seven engine tests and bench tests as GF-6A Separate fuel economy improvement limits in Sequence VIF

15 API SP Expected to look a lot like GF-6 Know more when GF-6 tests in place

16 DRAFT GF-6/API SP TIMELINE Still being reviewed and revised Timeline slip largely due to test development New standards feature seven fired engine tests Need time for technology demonstration and API waiting period First licensing after tech demo and waiting period

17 SN PLUS

18 SN PLUS CLASSIFICATION GF-6 development delays resulted in request for new classification to address low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) in turbocharged direct injection gasoline engines Ten automakers made request Addition of Sequence IX LSPI test to API 1509 only direct change required API Lubricants Standards Group approved request and named classification SN PLUS Online system accepting applications First licensing May 1

19 SN PLUS DONUT

20 LUBRICANTS STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT REVIEW GROUP

21 MISSION To evaluate standard-setting processes for engine oils and recommend improvements to stakeholder groups and standard-setting organizations with a material interest in engine oil standards

22 ISSUE Automakers, diesel engine manufacturers, lubricant marketers, additive suppliers, base stock manufacturers, and technical societies have worked collaboratively for decades to develop globallyrecognized performance-based engine oil standards for gasoline and diesel engines Some companies and organizations participating in the standard-setting processes have encouraged stakeholders to evaluate processes and to consider making changes to improve efficiency and effectiveness Members of API Lubricants Standards Group agreed that such an evaluation should take place

23 TASKS COMPLETED Stakeholders impaneled EMA ILSAC ACC Oil Marketers Base Stock Manufacturers Group charter adopted List of pros and cons of current processes assembled, vetted, and ranked Communications plan drafted Trial facilitator selected Current processes mapped

24 PROGRESS Drafted communications plan Developed and vetted pros and cons Mapped standard-setting processes Debated and debating standard-setting processes Calendar-based (standard every? years) Needs-based (performance or test need) Opened and continuing discussions on backward compatibility and funding models
